Session
Lost £20.39
One of those sessions where didn't really hit any cards and when I did was unable to get any action. Got a little frustrated and played a bit too loose chasing a couple of draws and getting outdrawn on the river a couple of times. Need to re-focus tomorrow and push on towards that magical £600 mark so I can step up to nl30. The aim is to be at nl30 by the beginning of the new year, tough ask but possible I believe as I am currently up £260 in cash play in 20 days and need to win £200 in 10 days. Going to really focus hard on getting to £600 by Close of Play on Dec 31st.

Played OK, apart from hand below. Should never have bet the river as only getting called if beaten. Even put villain on probably AK but still bet, WHY? Don't know but a little voice kept saying bet, bet, bet. So I did, idiot.

One of those sessions where variance takes revenge. Played really well but had 5 occassions where got it in good only to get outdrawn. I am not one to moan about bad beats, as I get the variance thing and also know that bad beats can work for you as well as against you, but having said that a particularly cruel session in which, as I have already said, I played really well. Could now display 5 hands where I got outdrawn but won't bother. Instead I will show a hand I thought I played really well. Smelt the weakness and took advantage, love it when I do this, as I believe this to be true poker where you play the palyer and the situation not the cards.

Pretty good session, and would have been better apart from hand below. I am now taking a couple of days off and will be back Boxing Day probably. Got last night of work tonight and will then be partaking in the Christmas festivities for the next couple of days, so HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all the readers and contributors to the thread, have a good one and in the words of Arnie 'I will be back'

2. Get to 50nl by the end of October.
3. Build bankroll to £3K by end of year.
4. Post on thread after every session.
5. Show a profit in MTT's.
6. Stick to following Bankroll Management - Minimum 20 buy ins for cash, 30 buy ins for MTT's.

hi Trebor, does that mean u have dropped from nl20? to nl10, as its below your bank roll management rule?
as with ur cash profit suggests you are winning dteady at the level. but u have to goto nl10 till u get to £400.
id stick to nl20 unless u lose to below £300.
THE END IS NIGH
I have made the decision to ply my trade elsewhere. I have not made this decision lightly but have made this decision for the following reasons.
1. Rakeback - I receive 30% RB at 2 other sites and believe the fact that Sky only offer the cash for points promo, that is nowhere as good as 30% RB, it is impacting on my overall profit.
2. HUD - I really miss using my HUD and the ability to analyse my play. I fully understand and respect SKY decision to not promote the use of HUD and understand their reasons but I do miss it.
3. Traffic - I play at some funny times, early morning, due to working nights and find the lack of traffic at these times means I am tempted to play at a higher level than my BR allows so as to get some action.
4. MTT schedule - There is a real lack of good guaranteed MTT's at the £5 - £10 mark, due to lack of traffic, and the big TV MTT's buy in seems to be gradually increasing.
I beleive the new year signals a new start and I would like to thank you all for your support and kind words and hope 2011 proves successful for you all.
I may well return one day, especially if I struggle to beat the competition on another site, and if you wish to follow my progress I will be starting a new thread on another well known forum titled "A new dawn".
GOOD LUCK.
Trebor's home
I have just spent the past fortnight playing on a couple of the bigger sites and jave decided, once and for all SKYPOKER is the home for me.
Why I hear you ask.
It's because of you guys. I have spent hour upon hour sat at tables with non descript robots pressing buttons on 16 tables at a time who have no personality and only use words that can be best described as derogaraty and I have to say I have missed the cheerful banter and chat that only seems to occur on this site. So for this reason and this reason alone I am returning a wiser and more contented person deep in the knowledge this is my home and where I belong.
So my thread will recommence at the point it ceased, thankfully these robots did no harm to my bankroll and I will take a slight profit and return to the bankroll I left with.

It's not that I was losing elsewhere it was just like playing soul less poker. I was becoming a robot and it is supposed to be fun. As for sky being rigged I have never once complained and don't believe any site, apart from UB maybe, is rigged. See you at the tables Dohhhhh.

Played this last night but was unable to post after session for some reason. Well how the Sky Poker god has took revenge for my deserting him. I obviously hurt his feelings by trying to worship a different god and he has had his revenge, I am sorry and have learnt my lesson and will never stray again. Played a bit to loose and wild, probably my excitement at being home, and lost a couple of races for big stacks. Will return tonight more tight and aggressive.

Continued to play far too loose and will make a determined effort to tighten up and stop chasing draws when I next play. Did receive a £5 deposit bonus off Sky - Thank you very much. Off to work now for my final night shift before a weeks hols. Flying to Andorra on Sunday morning for a weeks skiing with a few mates so may not be seen on tables for a week or so, then again may get a session in tomorrow evening depending on packing status etc. Can't wait for a week of no work, no kids and no wife (although I do love them dearly - just in case you are reading this). Probably do me good to have a weeks break and come back fighting fit and raring to go.

Back to winning ways. The key was playing a much better ABC, tight aggressive game. Played a lot better, playing from position and making some good reads on other players. Also only played 2 tables rather than my usual 3, this could be the future, we will have to see. Glad you enjoyed the thread Kalooki and I, for one, would be interested in a thread if you were to start one, especially if it included other things as well as poker, but good luck with your challenge. Will probably fit another couple of hours session later before a good nights sleep and early rise to set off for Andorra at 8am, can't wait and really looking forward to that Apres Ski.

Two tables and TAG play seems to the be way forward for you ATM...
Just wondered if you would be hitting the tables tonight, and if so, will you be playing drunk (like me and Dohhhhhhh) or are you too sensible for those sorts of shenanigans?
GL at the tables!!
